travis-ci/travis-ci — Issue #295: build history takes too long to display

When you click on the tab "build history" in a project that has a lot of previous builds (like diaspora) the history takes ages to load and is too huge to actually display in a reasonable time.
Firebug timed the download for the diaspora history at 1min 15sec and the size was 1.2 MB. As I am writing this I'm still waiting for Firefox to parse the json and display the history.

A possible solution could be to only show a hand full of builds and paginate the rest or to send only the data that is necessary for rendering the list, and request the rest only when a build is clicked.
